Derek, we grew up together as little kids, You were without a doubt the better of us all. You always had to be the good guy .. Its a crying shame that we cant go back to the days of cops N Robbers with cap guns .. You Will Be missed by all and especially the Citizenry of Lower Burrell that relied on your protection..

I Guess God now has a New Soldier / Angel in his ranks, this is a good thing overall.
